Floating in that white, porcelain tub, solely just with my thoughts in that scorching heat of the water - I let myself sink. I exhaled all of the air out my lungs, let myself descend underwater, and stared up through the rippling water, past the blood-red rose petals, up to the pale ceiling.

And... I thought.

If I drowned,

I would die.

But when I die,

will it be because I drowned?

In a bathtub full of rose petals,

I heard my heart slowly pump in my ears,

feel my lungs lie flat as I pushed out all of my air,

and sat on the bottom of the tub.

Bubbles left my mouth and nose,

one by one,

two by two,

each one representing a dread,

that stayed haunted in my head,

that eventually popped in that bubble.

Like they never existed.

A bubble of regret.

A bubble of pain.

A bubble of bad memories.

They all popped,

one by one.

In a bathtub full of rose petals.
